The sentence I wrote earlier, "The money will not be spent on repairing schools or to establish new schools since the intent of the investment is not to educate more Indians." reads better thus, "The money will not be spent on repairing schools or to establish new schools since providing basic education to more Indians is not the intent of the investment."
Pardon my lapse earlier.

That is precisely the point. The money will not be spent on repairing schools or to establish new schools since the intent of the investment is not to educate more Indians. Rather it is to be spent in providing better computer education where students are ready to use windows based software. Where do you think that will be? In the cities, specially in Hyderabad and Bangalore of the south. You didn't expect Dil da mamla from Bill Gates. Did you?
I have no problem with it. The money that the government will save in the process by not having to spend on computer education in the cities can be spent on repairing delapidated school buildings in the villages, if proper management is done.

However the question
remains as to what will come of what Gates is planning to plough back to
India? For example, what good does it do for teachers to be trained to use
computers in the class-room, where the class-rooms don't exist? Or to
computerize govt. operations, where the mindset of the bureaucracy remains the same?
